Fwiw, if you received an email confirmation of the order, I'd call them on it, based on a phone call today. While I was out today, one of our technicians took a call from grainger, calling to let me know that these were backordered "5-7 days", which pretty much jives with the lady on the phone telling me about october 14th.Who did you speak to that said they would honor that price? They told me to take a jump off a bridge yesterday. If I want it it's $724...and I ordered it before I posted on here. Glad you got it though
I called and the person I spoke to said they were on back order, but I would be getting them We'll see what happens!

Imo it's a big enough deal to at least try to hold them to it if you've got the order-confirmation email. Main concern I have at this point is that they haven't charged my debit card yet (I put it on my personal debit card instead of our company account); if they had, that would be one more degree closer to a done deal. Not the end of the world if they don't come in, but I seriously hope they do.... :ender: It's been a LONG time since I've had steiners, and they're the only optics I've used that beat leupold when I did have them; and their prices being what they are, I know I'll never bring myself to pay regular price for them. Not when Nikons are "almost" as good, and one-third the price.
It just show how much it takes to buy his integrity.While not illegal what you are doing certainly brushes up against some ethical boundaries. Frankly I am surprised, Quake. You seem from your postings to be an honorable man, active in Church and a role model to the youths in your area. You also own a business. How would you feel if this happened to you and your product was listed at less than your cost?
Is this your way of sticking it to corporate america because in your opinion Grainger can afford to lose some dough?
Just my 2 cents. Flame suit activated.

No flame suit necessary, and no ethical issues that I can see. :dunno: They advertised a price and I placed an order for a single unit at that sale price; I'm not trying to take some kind of unfair advantage of their mistake. I asked them if they'd honor the sale at that price, and they said they would; I appreciate that, but it's not as though I can force them into it.While not illegal what you are doing certainly brushes up against some ethical boundaries.

Wow. My response in my head goes back & forth between "See response to sebecman above", "Glad you know so much about me", and something that's borderline unprintable; so I'll stick with "See response to sebecman above."It just show how much it takes to buy his integrity.
Most ads have wording saying to effect that they are not responsible for misprints.
+1. wasnt me being in the crosshairs but it still struck a nerve.Quake,
Classy responses. I almost jumped into the argument yesterday but figured you didn't need anybody to speak for you.

CZ-82 9x18's for $189 and 5906's for $299; plus whatever your shipping & dealer costs are. Others as well, but those struck me as the bang-for-buck winners on the page..
